It
is a sign of irresponsibility on the side of the Congress of South African
Students to call for postponement of examinations in the Townships. It is
surprising that Maile and his fellow leaders forget so easily when the student
movement fought against separatist apartheid education and called for a common
and single education system.

It
is high time that COSAS stopped playing with the emotions of the students and
stop making promises that will be detrimental to our studentís future and the
Nation at large.

We
believe that with dedicated teachers and committed students, lost time can be
recovered, rather than calling for a postponement of these examinations.

We
call upon all students and teachers to dedicate themselves to their work and use
every available minute to its fullest.

The
UDM Youth believes that with discipline and a culture of learning, South Africa
can be a world class nation through world class education.
